“I retained Jeff Matsen to handle the estate of my deceased father. Jeff was very responsive and did a great job not only with the probate, but also helping my brother and me sort out some other legal matters.

Robert Davis; Signal Hill, California

“When my mother died, there were a lot of substantial problems with respect to her estate because of some past due debts and other encumbrances. Our family was told that Jeff Matsen was the best attorney in Southern California to handle estate administration and probate. I was completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problems involved, but when Jeff took over, everything went relatively smoothly. One by one, the problems were resolved with Jeff’s patience, know-how and tenacity and in the end, the estate was closed, the property distributed to me and my siblings and Jeff saved us thousands of dollars. I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff based on his experience, competence and ‘get the job done’ mentality.”
